RAYMOND F. KRAVIS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS KRAVIS-ON-THE-ROAD
Kravis Center Education Department brings programming into local classrooms for students who might not otherwise get to experience live theater
(West Palm Beach, FL) – Let’s hit the road! This year marks the 23rd season that the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts has taken its arts education programming into the classroom with its Kravis-On-The-Road Series. Designed to introduce the joys of live theater to School District of Palm Beach County students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience it, Kravis-On-The-Road is a free of charge program for local educators.
Produced by the Kravis Center’s education department, Kravis-On-The-Road features productions of all genres where children can learn about social studies, language arts, multicultural studies, character education, emotional development and so much more.
“The Kravis-On-The-Road Series presentations help educators incorporate the arts into academic curricula which in turn improves their students’ critical thinking skills and develops their emotional competence,” said Tracy Butler, Director of Education for the Kravis Center. “For many students and educators, this is a fun and interactive way to bring learning to life for children in Kindergarten through 8th grade.”
Past performances to date have included All Aboard: Travelling The World Through Story featuring Carrie Sue Ayvar at Meadow Park Elementary in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Maritime Academy in Lantana; and StoryMakers’ It’s a Great, Really Big, Humongous, Ginormous, Lotta People Ball! at Loxahatchee Groves Elementary in Loxahatchee, Palm Beach Maritime Academy in Lantana, Yesteryear Village in West Palm Beach, Equestrian Trails Elementary in Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens Burns Road Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Watson B. Duncan Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens, and Citrus Cove Elementary in Boynton Beach.
